First i lined up the marks at 12oclock on the crank and 6 on the cam tightend it all down and thought i was done. then my buddie asked if i checked to make sure cyl was up top. i didnt so i went back pulled the chain and 1st plug and spun crank and felt the little puff of air with my thumb and then put a screw driver down the hole and it was close to the top only needed to move crank like about a tooth or 2 to get it up top. then again i made sure the cam sprocket was in line and installed it all again. then friend asked me ok pistion 1 was up but was it up on compression. ? so now im alittle confused . should i take it back apart ? is the current way i have it correct. i would like to get this 100% correct before i go finshing installing other things. Car is a 95 5.0 5 speed.</blockquote>
